Phelan hired to lead
Smackout pack, once
targeted by WDFW, kills cow Oregon Aglink
By ERIC MORTENSON
Capital Press
(As of Dec. 2016)
Mallory Phelan is the
new executive director of
Oregon Aglink, the Port-
land-based nonprofit that
attempts to bridge the ur-
ban-rural divide with edu-
cational programs and ad-
vocacy.
Phelan was interim di-
rector following the depar-
ture of Geoff Horning, who
left this past summer to take
the top executive job at Or-
egon Hazelnut Industries.
Phelan was offered the job
after a national search and
accepted the position Oct.
17, according to an Oregon
AgLink news release.
Phelan, 30, said she is
honored and excited to be
picked for the job.
She said existing pro-
grams will be continued,
with the upcoming “Denim
and Diamonds” dinner and
auction in Portland being at
the forefront of the organi-
zation’s work.
But Phelan said she
wants to dive into more
strategic planning. She said
Oregon Aglink should be-
come more of a presence
in agriculture across the
state.
“We’re heavy in the
(Willamette)
valley,”
she said. “We want to
expand.”
She said there are “farm-
ers and ranchers down in
the Klamath Basin, out
in Ione, in the Umatil-
la Basin,” for example,
who want to be part of the
“Adopt a Farmer” program.
It connects middle school
science classes with farms
and ranches for field trips
and other presentation.
Phelan said a number of
producers are especially in-
terested in linking with stu-
dents in the Portland metro
area.
Phelan also said Oregon

will consider culling a pack
after four depredations with-
in 10 months or three depre-
dations within 30 days.
The pack met the thresh-
old in July, and WDFW
trapped and euthanized two
wolves. Two months passed
without another depredation,
and WDFW declared the
operation over on Sept. 26,
The department had hoped
its new policy of intervening
sooner once depredations
started but shooting fewer
wolves had worked.
The Smackout pack,
however, remains one of the
larger of the state’s 20 wolf-
packs, with about a dozen
wolves. The pack’s young-
est members are now old

The Washington Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife
confi rmed Oct. 9 that the
Smackout wolfpack killed
a cow on private land in
Stevens County, about two
weeks after the department
said it was hopeful the
pack’s appetite for cattle had
been curbed.
The department, which
killed two wolves in the
pack in July, won’t consid-
er restarting the lethal-re-
moval operation unless the
pack attacks one more time,
crossing a threshold set by
department policy.
“It’s hard to say wheth-
er it’s an isolated case.
We’ll have to see what the
next month has in store,”
WDFW wolf policy coor-
dinator Donny Martorello
said Monday. “It’s a very
dynamic system. It’s a very
wild system, and you never
know what’s going to hap-
pen next.”
WDFW reported the dep-
redation Friday in a weekly
roundup of wolf activities
in the state. The department
originally reported the cow
was killed in the Colville
National Forest, but later
corrected the location.
The attack was the fi rst
confi rmed
depredation
by the pack since July 22
and the third in less than
three months, according to
WDFW. The department

enough to travel more widely
than earlier in the year.
Stevens County rancher
Justin Hedrick said Mon-
day that he did not believe
WDFW’s incremental ap-
proach to culling the pack
would stop depredations.
“The department’s eval-
uation period ended, but so
what?” he said. “When the
numbers get so dang high,
they kill the game and run
the rest of the game out, and
it’s still a lot of protein they
have to have every day.”
The cow killed by the
Smackout pack this month
belonged to another ranch-
er. The Smackout pack has
attacked cattle from at least
three producers over the past
year, according WDFW.
Hedrick said his family’s
operation has lost at least
10 cows to wolves this year,
though the number could rise
as the ranch tries to bring
in cattle from grazing allot-
ments, he said.
The grazing season in
the national forest ends this
month, but the wolves will
still endanger cows on pri-
vate land, Hedrick said.
“They just follow the cat-
tle,” he said. “The grazing
season is never over for cat-
tlemen.”
Martorello agreed the de-
partment and ranchers will
have to continue guarding
against confl icts between
livestock and wolves.

Mallory Phelan has been
named the new executive
director of Oregon Aglink.
Aglink will look for more
“strategic
partnerships”
with other organizations.
Her group has done two
joint programs with the Or-
egon Museum of Science
and Industry, OMSI, in
Portland. OMSI has “such
a great base” because of
its programs for students
in the metro area, she
said.
Oregon Aglink wants to
increase its membership,
Phelan said, and offers a
discount rate on workers’
compensation premiums.
Jeff Freeman, president
of the Board of Directors at
Oregon Aglink, said Phelan
showed “great execution
in her previous manage-
ment role.” In a prepared
statement, Freeman said
Phelan’s “authentic voice
and enthusiasm for agri-
culture are her greatest
assets.”
